Cheers :beerchug: Madriverrob and santaman2000 I've only just stopped 'cracking' the fly off, but can still cast superb knots in the leader :confused: I'd done a rubish roll cast to get some line out so did another to get some of the snakey bends out and the Tiger took the Fly on the drop and...
Having just answered stone monkey in the 'other chatter' thread I thought I'd post it here as well :

With some 1/2" Balsa dowel drilled from either end
then a BBQ squewer pushed through and super glued
shaped/sanded with a nail file sandpaper board
Tip 1" and stem 2" and I decided to whip a smaller eye (than the Reed floats) on, then painted with Acrylic paint
then x3 coats of Yacht...
So S.H.T.F, sun flare (no electric), astoroide impact, zombie apocalypse which of your 7 non prepers do you eat first :confused: the youngest (sweetest) or the fattest (lard)
:joke:
is that 4" overall ? I've never made floats before but thought Avons had a long stem, to act as a keel, then a shorter tip above the body for visability as you 'trot' down a river ?
my longest rod at the moment is only 8' but am looking to get a 12' then the line goes to the float and not into...
As I learn to use the new Whipping tool, it turns into a lathe
With some 1/2" Balsa dowel drilled from either end
then a BBQ squewer pushed through and super glued
shaped/sanded with a nail file sandpaper board
it's work in progress
Thought I'd have a play with the Whipping tool
but first I made some Bobbin holders rather than keep swaping cotton
then I had the idea to make them semi self cocking to save shotting on the line
I'm off down the River this afternoon, one of the benefits of being an OAP
Cheers :beerchug: maybe a small clear tube at the top so the tip is Orange Black Orange, though I was 'trotting' it down the local river (Aire at Skipton) yesterday and it was visible a long way. Caught a nice Grayling and a small Brow Trout on worm :)
Cheers :beerchug: I was thinking of using a piece of black silicon rubber tubing say 1/2" long that just fits over the orange tip, thread this on the line first then through the float eye, that way the float can be slid up or down the line to adjust depth. But being new to float fishing I'd...
Wanting a 'hand drill' I visited Toms' Tool Guy on Colne market and on explaining what I wanted it for he came up with one from his 'parts' bin for £2

When making the Reed floats I just happened to find an Oak apple http://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_apple
in my waistcoat pocket, so gave it a try, it worked that well I went out on an Oak Apple expedition and managed to find some down the old disused railway line and seen as this was...
